Psalms 61

1 Unto the end. With hymns, of David. O God, pay attention to my supplication. Be attentive to my prayer.

達味作，交與樂官，和以絃樂。 天主，求你俯聽我的哀號，求你細聽我的祈禱。

2 I cried out to you from the ends of the earth. When my heart was in anguish, you exalted me on a rock. You have led me,

當我心靈憂戚時，我由地極呼號你，求你領我上那崇高磐石，使我安息。

3 for you have been my hope, a tower of strength before the face of the enemy.

因為你是我的避難所，是我抗敵的堅固碉堡。

4 I will dwell in your tabernacle forever. I will be protected under the cover of your wings.

願我常在你的帳幕內寄住，在你的翼護下隱居！

5 For you, my God, have listened to my prayer. You have granted an inheritance to those who fear your name.

天主，你果真滿全了我的志願，賜給了我敬愛你名者的財產。

6 You will add days to the days of the king, to his years, even to the time of generation after generation.

願你使君王的壽命日增，並使他的年歲萬世無窮!

7 He remains in eternity, in the sight of God. Who will long for his mercy and truth?

願他在天主前為王，直至永遠，求你廣施慈愛忠誠，使他安全！

8 So I will compose a psalm to your name, forever and ever, so that I may repay my vows from day to day.

因此，我要常常歌讚你的名號，為能使我日日償還我的誓約。
